Video Game Classics: The Legend of the Mystical Ninja

Emerging from the long running and popular “Ganbare Goemon” anime television and video game series from Japan, this Konami title is one of the few to get ported to North America. Blending two different video game styles, Mystical Ninja is an unforgettable action/adventure that meshes the best of 2D platforming with the action of beat 'em-up brawlers. In the game, up to two players can play together as Goemon and his goofy pal Ebisumaru, respectively renamed as Kid Ying and Dr. Yang for the American release. The game's plot is centered on the pair discovering that a mysterious army has kidnapped Princess Yuki. Pledging to save her, they travel across Japan to find clues about the hostile force, and locate their hidden base.
